Tell your BIOS to boot from your Win2000 installation CD.
Select "Repair" when prompted, then select the most
appropriate option.

How do I do this? I'm going to try something but would appreciate some instruction.

What exactly is it that you need further details on?

I figured it out. Thanks for giving me a place to start. Had to disable all other drives in my bios in order to boot from CD. You just have to remember that not all of us are Techies. Just have a little more patience. Once again, thanks for your help.
